  • Megalo Bonsai / Print

    Megalo Bonsai / Print

    So last weekend I checked out the BONSAI / PRINT show held at Megalo. The show curates the work of printmakers and bonsaïka surrounding carefully cultivated trees with printed works, both large and small. As usual, the Megalo shows are interesting and showcase the talent of local artist. This one is around until the end…

  • Knees Space Show

    Knees Space Show

    So a little more than a week ago, I went to the opening of the Knees.Space show in Megalo’s gallery space. I had seen this guy’s work around town, mostly as robotic arms painted on the side of buildings or in a drain somewhere. Well he carved out some particle board and printed out some…

  • Asemic Workshop

    Last week, I ran my asemic writing workshop. Everyone who attended did some great work.m Things seemed to go well. I’m not sure what else to write about.

    Sancho’s Dirty Laundry Launch

    So, Sancho’s Dirty Laundry recently reopened (after nearly a year of being closed) and I took a few shots of the set up when they had a launch on Friday night.

    It’s near the end of my time off and I finally managed to check out Ink Remix. Featuring artists from Taiwan, Hong Kong and mainland China.

    Brick To Canvas

    So a little earlier in the week, I read about the Brick To Canvas show happening at the Aarwun Gallery in Gold Creek. I missed the opening, but wanted to see what was hanging on the walls, particularly of former Canberra street artist E.L.K. (or Luke Cornish if you know him in person, I suppose).…
